Originally from Portland,OR, currently a postdoc in Seattle. after
7 years in CO, I'm stoked to be back in the NW! I'm interested in
volunteering, adventures and the outdoors. I love to hike, snowshoe
and jog and I have no qualms with walking places. I am always down
for a trip (work allowing). I love obscure facts, although they
don't seem to help me at trivia too much.

Chemistry research in global health, building a career in the
sciences. I've been trying to meet people by volunteering for park
clean ups, so far I've met a lot of middle aged couples. I think I
need to start volunteering for Brunch.

Probably the unique wardrobe. My style has been equated to a 8-year
old given free rein on his clothing decisions, but I can rock a
suit and tie. I have a large hat collection and try to keep up a
good headware rotation. Also, my facial hair is in a constant state
of flux.

Books:
Catch 22 is my comfort read, I've been through it about 7 times
now. Short stories: Stephen King, Jack London, Poe, detective/spy
novels and Ed McBain police procedurals
Movies:
A good range: Coen Brothers, Old Noir Films, ever seen Ravenous?
The darker Sci Fi flicks. I also enjoy a really bad horror
movie.
Shows:
Community, Parks and Rec, Arrested Development, Undeclared and
Freaks and Geeks, classic Simpsons.
Music:
I'm a Huge fan of Elliott Smith, Counting Crows, the Cure, Andrew
Bird, Toad the Wet Sprocket (for some reason). I mix in a bit of
Blackalicious, Cypress Hill,and Wu Tang and go back to some Kiss,
ZZ top, Gordon Lightfoot and Bad Company when I'm slowing things
down. I'm always down for some obscure local live shows.
Food:
Spice is nice. My goto Sunday meal out usually turns out to be Thai
but I think I am physically required to eat a burger every two
weeks or so. I like to cook and usually end up making too much of a
3 course meal, I get by on my leftovers. I like unique ingredients
and sometimes just wander the local asian supermarket in a daze
wondering what I would do with a child sized Jackfruit.

How much I would like more space to devote to homebrew in my ever
shrinking apartment. If I do have a fermenter going its kind of
like a pet, I want to make sure its healthy and I'm always looking
for something to do with it. recent brews: Ghost Chili Scotch ale,
Bourbon Cherry Porter and handpicked hop pale ale.

You can actively make suggestions of fun things to do around
Seattle and help make that happen. You wouldn't mind joining me for
a volunteer day cleaning parks or greeting visitors at a museum.
You have a good, if odd, sense of humor and you are active (a
Kardashian marathon is not your idea of a well-spent evening) and
reasonably organized.
